Re: new to the site and have a couple questions
It's called an egg spot. It's for mating purposes in mouth brooders. During spawning, the female lays her eggs down on say a flat rock and the male comes over and fertilizes them. The female then picks them up with her mouth. The spot is meant to mimic an egg so the female will try to pick up the spot on his fin, thinking it is an egg. This way, she gets a mouth load of fish juice and the eggs get fertilized.
If you ever see Africans spawn (mouth brooders) they kind of swim in circles with their heads near each others sexual organs and they kind of shake.
That is fish sex.
